 "The best sea lion contract I ever made was with P. T. Barnum, in 1S71," said Capt. Cyrus Eastman to reporter. ''His agent entered into contract with me to deliver pair alive to him in New York City, and paid me $1, ,0OO upon my signing the papers, and the final output was something like $1O,0O0. took two men and went to Santa Barbara, where chartered schooner and took on board six of the best lassoers (vanqueros) that I could get.
 'San Miguel Islands at that time were alive with sea lions. There was no trouble in lassoing sea lion, but the difficulty was in making the lasso hold, as a sea lions neck is larger than his head. It was all right as long as he was headed from you, but as soon as he turned the riata would slip off and you lost him.
 "My only capture on the first trip was three small ones, but as they did not come up to the required weight for Bar mum, l sold them to John Robinson, at Omaha, where they were an immense attraction.
 "On my second trip I added to my force and took a hunting crew of eight men, and, ,profting by my former expert ence, I had my riatas fixed with fish hooks, and also we'll plastered with rosin, but could not hold the beasts, and so shot one, and, throwing the lasso over fipper, I found that it would hold. All that seal has to do is to give me his fipper and have got him.
 "My men were all Indians. I took one of them and showed him the trick, and the next morning we went into the sea lions rookery and caught four. I went to San Francisco immediately and placed my captives in salt water tank and kept them there until the departure of the next steamer for Panama. I got them safely over the Isthmus, and land ed them alive in New York and got my rov >

Ill q French Boarding School.

In every French school, be it convent or pension, the girls are obliged to wear the uniform peculiar to their school The custom is an excellent one, as it not only saves great deal of trouble, but it prevents any petty jealousies on the sub ject of dress. The time after dinner un- til o'clock, with the exception of 15 minutes for prayers, Is entirely devoted to exercise. In summer the scholars walk or play in the garden, and in win ter, with the exception of the very small girls, who amuse themselves in their own way i'll their classroom they dance in what is called the sdlon des eleces, or scholars parlor. This dancing is com prlsory, no other mode of exercise being allowed indoors, and although great fun to begin with, toward the close of winter the formula becomes rather mohotonous, and the time for playing in the garden at night as we'll as in the day time is hailed with delight. Seven o'clock rings, and this is the signal for two hours study before bedtime, one of these hours being usually devoted to the piano, At 8 the Protestant girls have their prayers, and the small children go to bed, followed at by the entire school. Thus one day succeeds the other, with only a change of professor to mark the difference, until Thursday afternoon, from until 4, when the scholars are al lowed to receive their parents or friends in the salon, or, if they have none near enough to visit them, to write their let ters. To French girls there is very lit tie liberty allowed on tho subject of let er-writing, but to tho English and Americans the permission is given to correspond with such friends or relatives as are put on a list by their parents or guardians. It is not the custom for French papas or mammas to put such trust in their daughters, and every letter not addressed to them must be left un- sealed to be read by the principal, through whose hands passes every letter sent from the school. Should she find fault with any of these letters she reads, they are returned to the writer, to be either torn up or corrected, as she may

 The explanation or the whole affair is, that among the several Masonic organizations claiming the right to confer degrees in the Scottish Rite the Cerneau organization and the Southern Rite organization have from time immemoral been as actively stirred by jealously as the houses of New York and Land caster in early English days. Disputes re- garding priority of organization, succession, and the powers of the parent consistories to confer charters have been thrashed over times innumerable during the last two centuries. American Masons have generally given the preference to Cerneau Rite, which far exceeds all competitors in numeral strength. This or ganization claims succession from the old English consistory while the Southern Rite claims it's succession from the French consis- tory--conferred upon Louisiana Chapters when that State was French colony.
 Albert Pike is Sovereign Inspector General of the Southern Rite, and William H. Sutton, who is foreman of the composing rooms of the % % of highest degee in Cerneau body.
